D2X - Finarfin,
Tulkas. runewords. Get-together after meeting Finarfin,
Thorondor.
WoW
Getting together to try to set up
the guild charter. We needed ten accounts but only had six. We learned
more about setting up guilds, and more folk are now able to come to the
main meeting area, and therefore to act as escorts next time. How to travel anyplace link. We will need
to collect 10 gold to unlock the tabard, and 1 gold per character to
have a tabard. Using a Raid channel for getting
together for the charter helped a lot, but can't do individual quests
meanwhile. Donations may be
WoW-mailed to Auros/Eonwe-(Valar) or given on the day of charter. He is
keeping track of donations on paper. After we make the guild, more
characters may be added by the guild
leader or guild officers.

D2X and WoW gamers met for their respective games.

VardaValar1: It is a place in Mordor
VardaValar1: In the map, it shows as
the top left corner :-)
VardaValar1: Enter there I think,
have to re-check
ArPharazonV: ah, you are correct
ArPharazonV: yet I wonder what the flame of udun is supposed to mean
ArPharazonV: I know what the flame
of anor is, of course
ArPharazonV: anor being the sun, or
the setting sun
sauronjag has entered the room.
sauronjag: hola :-)
VardaValar1: Aiya :-)
ArPharazonV: Aiya
VardaValar1: Lungorthin, have you
had a chance to do any updating on the Books page?
VardaValar1: I located some more and
wondered if I sent them to you if you would be putting them up
sauronjag: I could definitely get them up if you could send
them to me.. I don't have much time to do a lot of research on my own
because of school :-( but I just got on break now so I'll have some
more time
VardaValar1:
If we help out, you don't have to do the research, just put it on the
page :-)
VardaValar1: Joys of being web guy
sauronjag: haha, sounds wonderful :-)
VardaValar1: : )
VardaValar1: Finarfin says he still
plays D2X
VardaValar1: Tulkas has been playing
VardaValar1: Do you still play it
any?
sauronjag: maybe once a month if I'm lucky :-)
sauronjag: I try to keep my characters updated
VardaValar1:
At least keeping them alive, very good :-)
VardaValar1: Do you play regular or
ladder characters?
VardaValar1: It defaults to ladder,
heh
sauronjag: both, but I think I'm too far behind in ladder :-)
sauronjag: yeah
VardaValar1:
We havea guild "Ladder"
VardaValar1: It is just a way of
keeping friends' lists updated mainly
VardaValar1: We have all sizes
VardaValar1: Even 5 ; )
sauronjag: haha
sauronjag: okay then
VardaValar1:
We play it like regular
VardaValar1: Be sure to send in your
account name to me for showing on the ladder page
VardaValar1: Most D2X players seem
to think they are the only ones playing
sauronjag: okay
sauronjag: yeah I felt that way too
VardaValar1:
You have anything you want to have said at the meeting?
VardaValar1: Send in books and
reviews? ; )
sauronjag: aye :-) tell everyone I say hello I haven't been very
active!
VardaValar1:
You bet
VardaValar1: Once a month email to
me or just anything we can look up takes care of monthly contact
VardaValar1: Forum, news item
VardaValar1: Any contribution to the
Tolkien Encyc ; )
VardaValar1: We'll have to be doing
the year-end activity sweep
VardaValar1: The ones who get
dropped don't answer their email and haven't been seen anywhere in ages
VardaValar1: You are covered : )
ArPharazonV: I email you about every
week ;-)
VardaValar1: Phar is absolutely
covered ;-)]
FladrifV has entered the room.
VardaValar1: Aiya!
sauronjag: haha

sauronjag has left the room.
VardaValar1: Anyone have the
Extended RotK?
ArPharazonV: I bought it for
Christmas, so haven't watched it yet :-)
VardaValar1: hehe
VardaValar1: I was told not to run
out and buy it : )
ArPharazonV: for now, I'm
re-watching the first two movies, extended of course
ArPharazonV: so I can catch up with
the story again, as it is portrayed in the movies ;-)
VardaValar1: : )
ArPharazonV: will watch TT this
week, did Fellowship last week
ArPharazonV: just a few chapters a
day, and I should be ready right before Christmas :-D
ArPharazonV: also, on a slower pace,
I continue rereading the books
ArPharazonV: Merry and Pippin
escaped into Fangorn Forest yesterday :-)
VardaValar1: Very good : )
ArPharazonV: I read the Uruk-hai chapter in one go last night
VardaValar1: You must have liked the
action : )
ArPharazonV: and found a lot of
orc-names I recognize from the lotr-boardgame
ArPharazonV: but which I couldn't
directly identify until reading the chapter again
VardaValar1: I dug up the FotR from
behind Eoywn : )
ArPharazonV: Ugluk, Grishnakh,
Snaga, Lugdush...
VardaValar1: In Bridge
of Khazad-dum
ArPharazonV: cool
VardaValar1: Most noticeable
difference is the balrog's power since BoLT
ArPharazonV: oh, yes, I'm wondering
about that chapter too, though
ArPharazonV: about Gollum
VardaValar1: A swordsman like
Aragorn could not take him
ArPharazonV: if the Bridge was cast
down in the battle of Gandalf and the Balrog....
VardaValar1: even backed up by
Boromir and Legolas and Gimli
ArPharazonV: how did Gollum escape Moria?
VardaValar1: There were other ways
VardaValar1: and he can climb steep
things
ArPharazonV: and if he was following
the Fellowship, how did he get past
Balin's tomb?
VardaValar1: He could have come
through after orcs did
VardaValar1: and he did not have to
go the same route
ArPharazonV: well, unless he was to
take the path over the fire which would have otherwised blocked the
Fellowship
ArPharazonV: he would have had to go
through the Tomb
VardaValar1: He could have been
among the orcs too
VardaValar1: Maybe he went along the
wall
VardaValar1: Quite a climber
ArPharazonV: or perhaps... do we
even know he came out before the Orcs?
VardaValar1: nope
ArPharazonV: the next time he shows
up is in Lorien, about the time the Orcs from Moria get there
Musics4Me2 has entered the room.
VardaValar1: He may have come with
the orcs
VardaValar1: Aiya Farmer
Musics4Me2: Aiya
ArPharazonV: and it is said, that
the Orcs made small bridges over the fire... he could have gone after
or with them, aye
ArPharazonV: Aiya
ArPharazonV: that would explain a
lot, I suppose
ArPharazonV: oh, and there's that...
if the Bridge was cast down, how did those Orcs get out of Moria anyway?
VardaValar1: The side door ;-)
VardaValar1: They probably built a
new bridge too
ArPharazonV: wasn't the Bridge there
to force any invading Orcs to pass in single file before they could
advance?
VardaValar1: Not as fancy in that
time! and with no dwarf help
Eonwe Valar has entered the room.
VardaValar1: Aiya!
Eonwe Valar: heya :}
ArPharazonV: a sidedoor, or an
easily replacement, would greatly reduce the effectiveness of the old
Bridge
ArPharazonV: Aiya
VardaValar1: They were not the
dwarves
ArPharazonV: *easy
ArPharazonV: you say the Orcs
actually made the side-door?
VardaValar1: But they could have
built a replacement since they had control of the area
VardaValar1: No, I made that up
VardaValar1: Some were already on
the other side, such as the ones the Fellowship passed at the exit
Eonwe Valar: I seem to have missed
the beginning of an interesting discussion
Eonwe Valar: Moria?
ArPharazonV: yes
ArPharazonV: how the Orcs and Gollum
got out after Gandalf cast down the Bridge
GilraenV has entered the room.
VardaValar1: Aiya!
ArPharazonV: Aiya
GilraenV: aiya
ArPharazonV: Gilraen, Gwaihir made a
WoW-character for you?
GilraenV: I made it myself,
actually ;-)
Eonwe Valar has left the room.
ArPharazonV: with an American
version?
FINARFIN010: back
Eonwe Valar has entered the room.
VardaValar1: Welcome back both
ArPharazonV: Aiyata
Eonwe Valar: well that was
interesting
ArPharazonV: wat is Elvish for both?
Eonwe Valar: guess I know not to hit
escape now
VardaValar1: heh
VardaValar1: I'll let you look it up
: )
GilraenV: no. I'm in Canada. On
Gwai's computer.
Eonwe Valar: thnx for the wb's
ThorondorV has entered the room.
VardaValar1: Aiya
GilraenV: which reminds me, Varda
you missed me off the attendees for the week before last, and I was
reading over Gwai's shoulder last week, mostly asleep I'll admit, but
he forgot to say
ThorondorV: Heya fellows
VardaValar1: okies
Eonwe Valar: heya Eagle :}
GilraenV: Aiya Thorondor
FINARFIN010: Aiya
GilraenV:
thanks :-)
ArPharazonV: Aiya
VardaValar1: Put you down as an over
the shoulder, Gilraen?
GilraenV: hehe. sure.
FINARFIN010: hehehe
VardaValar1:
Elwing is sitting between two comps right now, watching the chat and
Eowyn on WoW
VardaValar1: Gilraen, you are now
listed on the News : )
GilraenV: woo thanks :-)
VardaValar1: My pleasure
ArPharazonV: I won a Fellowship-game
in War3 today because of Eowyn :-)
FINARFIN010: congrats
GilraenV:
wow is addictive. I've been playing it all day (Gwai's at work, as
usual during meetings, lol)
ArPharazonV: it was a team-game, 9
players, each one of the Fellowship
ArPharazonV: and as the game
progressed, some players got extra heroes
Musics4Me2: <random note> I
need to duct tape the chair I'm on.... kinda has holes in it :-P
ArPharazonV: I, being Merry, got
Eowyn
VardaValar1: Run grab duct tape.
Scroll later
Musics4Me2: yeah, don't know where
it is though :-(
ArPharazonV: and mainly because of
dual hero-experience-points, as well as huge amounts of unit-kills, I
came out on top of the score-list at the end :-D
VardaValar1: ask : )
Musics4Me2: did, hours ago :-P
ArathornValar has entered the room.
VardaValar1: Aiya!
ArPharazonV: Aiya
ArPharazonV: so, one could say,
Eowyn won the game for me ;-)
FINARFIN010: aiya
VardaValar1:

screenshots! have you made the journey to Stormwind yet?
Eonwe Valar: For those who missed
it, we will be meeting in Cathedral Square in Stormwind
Eonwe Valar: Screenshots are saved
in TGA format, not Jpeg, so if someone here has a photoshop program
that can convert the screenshots so everyone can see, we'd appreciate
it :}
MaglorV: I can do that :-)
Eonwe Valar: Excellent, our web page
guy is also our Screenshot converter :}
ArPharazonV: any chance of putting a
screenshot-section on that page?
MaglorV: yeah, the only problem
is geocity's web space, only 15mb
ArPharazonV: ouch...
VardaValar1: You can use other space
too
VardaValar1: Link to it
MaglorV: yeah, shouldn't be too
much of a problem
VardaValar1: We do it a lot for our
pages
GilraenV: put them on a free
image hosting site and direct link?
VardaValar1: Right
Eonwe Valar: in TGA format the
screenshots are about 4 kb
Eonwe Valar: shouldn't be too much
bigger as a jpeg
MaglorV: yeah, depends on the
players resolution though, i think
Eonwe Valar: Well, I'm on
1152xwhatever the second number is :}
ArathornValar: I have photoshop
Eonwe Valar:
SO you can convert TGA to Jpeg as well Arathorn?

VardaValar1:
Enough to get the guild started
ArathornValar: Part2:...
VardaValar1:
Be sure to bring in your primary guild character for the tabard though
ArathornValar: How do we go about adding the

Grimbold
V has entered
the room.
VardaValar1: Try checking with the
guild npc
ArPharazonV: Aiya
Grimbold V: My apologies, got
caught up in quest and lost track of time.
VardaValar1: I know there is a way
ThorondorV: Well guys, I'll see
what Finarfin is up to now... laters all :-)
ArathornValar: have a feeling once the guild is
made it's a simple payment to the guild master
VardaValar1:
Might need the guild leader (Eonwe) or officer to add you
ThorondorV has left the room.
VardaValar1: That is how it would be
in EQ anyway
ArathornValar: Possibly but I'm hoping not
VardaValar1:
I hate to think just anyone can join our guild by paying 10 silver
ArathornValar: I create 75 more characters
yesterday <runs for cover...>
Eonwe Valar:
back
VardaValar1: Welcome back : )
Eonwe Valar: sorry about that,..
Eonwe Valar: thanks :}

ArathornValar: Hmm.. you make good point :/
VardaValar1:
I know guild leader and officers will be able to invite, according to
Blizzard
VardaValar1: Should be no problem
ArathornValar: Ok. that makes sense.
VardaValar1:
Be careful you are inviting a real member : )
ArPharazonV: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics
/guilds.html
ArPharazonV: Officers
and Leaders can add and remove players from the guild.
VardaValar1: Eonwe, are you in WoW
now?
VardaValar1: Eowyn is trying to
fight her way to the square
ArathornValar: I keep crashing in WOW *heavy
sigh*
VardaValar1:
Continuous battle
ArPharazonV: it seems any player of
the sufficient rank (ranks and rank-priviliges can be set by the
guild-leaders) can invite people into the Guild
Eonwe Valar: sorry, was scrolling :}
VardaValar1: Gilraen is trying to
come in from Teldrassil, but needs help
MaglorV: Im in Cathedral Sqaure
awaiting friends :-)
VardaValar1: Yay Maglor!
Eonwe Valar: I'll be ther
emomentarily
MaglorV: ok
ArathornValar: Eveery time I complete a quest in
Lakeshire area I crash 3-4 times ... then it works afterwards (sent a
note to WoW support with details)
Grimbold V:
I'm near Stockades
Eonwe Valar: as for the tabard,
that's 10 gold to unlock, and I'm not sure how much to buy,.. seems to
be 1 gold
Grimbold V: but will offer my sword
in escort to those needing it
VardaValar1: 1 gold each I think
ArathornValar: just got bumped again...
MaglorV:
1 gold to buy a tabard
VardaValar1: We wil need escorts
VardaValar1: Suralda/Gilraen will
need help
Grimbold V: what race?
Eonwe Valar: Getting on WoW,..
escorts can go ahead and gather in Cathedral Square and we'll move to
escort from there
ArathornValar: I have a gold on hy human now
Grimbold V:
we need to know where everyone is etc to escort
ArathornValar: *my
ArPharazonV:
so in total for the tabard you would need 11 gold?
Grimbold V: no 1g
VardaValar1: 1 gold each
Grimbold V: its 10g as a whole to
get the tabard made
VardaValar1: per character
ArPharazonV: 10 gold to unlock, 1
gold to buy
MaglorV: 1g, the guild as a
whole need 10 to make a tabard
ArathornValar: I could help with my elf .. then
could maybe add him after too :-)
ArathornValar: IF I can get on again ...
VardaValar1:
Eonwe gets to hold the money : )
VardaValar1: We need to pass it to
him for unlocking charter and tabard
VardaValar1: Together we can do it
Grimbold V: ok no embezzeling of
funds now there Eonwe or my mace and shield will hunt you *smirk*
VardaValar1: 10 gold is a lot though
ArPharazonV: my gold... my own... my
precious....
MaglorV: I wish we could
transfer characters :-( my dwarf would be able to unlock the tabard,
and buy one for everyone...
MaglorV: hehe
VardaValar1: Should play on Lothar
;-)
VardaValar1: Let Eonwe coordinate
the escort and money on WoW
MaglorV: yeah, but didnt know it
was going to be Lothar when I started him
VardaValar1: I'm just helping from
AIM so he can breathe
Eonwe Valar: FotR on TNT<..
Frodo's zoned out body bouncing around in front of Arwen,... my least
favorite part approaches
VardaValar1: Right, Maglor. That's a
problem
MaglorV: ok, going back to WoW
:-)
VardaValar1: Don't look, Eonwe!
Grimbold V: I'm going too...meeting
in Cathedral?
ArPharazonV: what's that, Eonwe? at
the ford?
VardaValar1: the Square in front
ArPharazonV: your least favorite
part?
Grimbold V: k
Eonwe Valar: aye
VardaValar1: Eonwe has the movie
going : )
Grimbold V: heading there now
Menelvagor Valar: I'm off to bed, gotta
catch up on some sleep
Menelvagor Valar: Namarie everyone
Eonwe Valar: muting,.. now I don't
suffer :}
VardaValar1: Mara mesta
VardaValar1: heh
Eonwe Valar: sleep well Menelvagor :}
Menelvagor Valar has left the room.
ArPharazonV: 'If you want him, come
and claim him!
VardaValar1: Cruel, Phar : )
Eonwe Valar: oh gee thanks Phar,..
you're a big help :}
ArPharazonV: sorry :-)
ArPharazonV: heard that too much
times in trailers
Eonwe Valar: but somehow not as bad
as actually experiencing Arwen saying it :}
ArPharazonV: as well as rewatching
the dvd in the past week
ArPharazonV: I can hear her voice
saying it now...
ArPharazonV: in my head, that is
VardaValar1: heh
VardaValar1: Gilraen is now going
from the Hippogryph master of Teldrassil
ArathornValar: finally! ok my human is flying to
SW
ArPharazonV:
Step 1 - From your starting location, head South out of Shadowglen and
follow the road West through Dolanaar to Darnassus, the Night Elf
capital city.
ArPharazonV: Step 2 - When you enter
the city, keep heading West towards the western-most part of the city.
ArPharazonV: There is a purple
portal there that will teleport you to the fishing village of
Rut'theran located at the southern part of the island of Teldrassil.
Simply walk into the purple aura.
VardaValar1: Gilraen is already
headed to Auberdine
VardaValar1: on hippogryph back
ArPharazonV: Step 3 - At Rut'theran
Village, there are 2 ways to travel to Auberdine, a town in Darkshore.
VardaValar1: Gryphons cost money
ArPharazonV: You can either take a
flying trip via the Hippogryph Master or take a boat trip via the ship
at the docks. Both are free.
ArPharazonV: The boat arrives once
every 2 to 3 minutes so you may have to wait at the docks for one to
arrive.
ArPharazonV: Darkshore? Is that
Kalimdor or Lordaeron/Azeroth?
ArPharazonV: *looks at next picture,
sees his answer*
ArPharazonV: never mind...
VardaValar1: Gilraen is in Auberdine
ArPharazonV: Step 4 - When you
arrive at Auberdine, obtain the flight path from the Hippogryph Master
located just south of the inn/docks.
ArPharazonV: Return/go to the docks
and wait at the southern dock for the boat to Menethil Harbour. (The
northern dock goes back to Teldrassil.)
ArPharazonV: Step 5 - Arriving at
Menethil Harbour on the Eastern Kingdoms, first obtain the flight path
from the Gryphon Master in the southeast corner of the town.
ArPharazonV: Note that you do not
know any connecting flight paths yet, so you cannot actually use the
Gryphon Master at this time.
ArPharazonV: Step 6 - From Menethil
Harbour, follow the road and head east. Stay on the roads all the time
and dodge the level 20-25 enemies wandering near the road if you can.
You will most likely die about 1/3 of the way to the graveyard.
ArPharazonV: Ressurect at the Spirit
Healer in the graveyard and proceed to head south towards Dun Algaz (a
mountain pass to Loch Modan).
ArPharazonV: You will die a few more
times on the way, perform corpse runs by running to your corpse from
the Spirit Healer and ressurecting.
VardaValar1: Or you can have an
escort of guild guys helping you
ArPharazonV: that would be without
an escort, yes ;-)
VardaValar1: Escort much better : )
ArPharazonV: Step 7 - Enter the
mountain pass/cave system into Dun Algaz and follow the winding path
through the mountains. There are some level 20-25 Orc Archers in
ambush, so you will likely die again unless they are killed by other
players.
VardaValar1: Keep to the road!
ArPharazonV: If you do die, your
spirit will be transported to the graveyard in Loch Modan, at the town
of Thelsamar. Ressurect there and obtain the flight path at Thelsamar.
You now have a flight path between Loch Modan and Wetlands.
VardaValar1: We only had two deaths
last weekend
ArPharazonV: Step 8 - Head south
from Dun Algaz (if you survived) towards the North Gate Pass that
connects Dun Morogh and Loch Modan located in the Northwest of the zone,
ArPharazonV: otherwise if you are in
Thelsamar, head south towards the South Gate Pass as it is a shorter
travelling distance. Stay on the road at all times.
ArPharazonV: I don't know... the
dying and ghost-proces seem like quite an experience, I think I'll try
it a few times :-D
VardaValar1: You will : )
VardaValar1: But the spirit hits
your armor so you need repairs
ArPharazonV: Step 9 - Follow the
road west to Ironforge from North/South Gate Passes. Use the road signs
that are located at every road junction.
ArPharazonV: Once you enter
Ironforge, obtain the flight path from the Gryphon Master that is
located in the middle of the city (see Figure 6). You now have a
triangle flight path between Ironforge, Loch Modan and Wetlands.
VardaValar1: Do we have a guild
escort available for night elves?
ArPharazonV: Step 10 - Locate a shop
that sells armor or weapons of any sort, and repair your damaged
equipment.
ArPharazonV: and so you get to
Ironforge :-)
ArPharazonV: and I believe there's a
railway system between Stormwind and Ironforge?
ArPharazonV: I'd be glad to escort
you with my Gnome Warrior... unfortunately I can't create him yet for a
few months :-(
ArPharazonV: in other news, I
started playing another game in the last few days... Legend of Zelda for the pc :-)
ArPharazonV: also known as Zelda
Classic
ArPharazonV: combined with an
official-site-walkthrough, a monster-and-item-database on gamefaqs, and
any map you could ever ask for also on gamefaqs, it's turning in quite
the experience :-D
ArPharazonV: aye, I shall find ways
to spend my time before WoW is released... don't worry :-)
VardaValar1: back
VardaValar1: Sounds fun : )
ArPharazonV: it is, indeed
ArPharazonV: never thought I would
actually become oblivious of the flow of time around me with such an...
'ancient' game
GilraenV: *makes note of railway
to get gwai's mage there* *will probably forget about railway and end
up asking*
VardaValar1: Many of the ancient
games depended on good play, not graphics
ArPharazonV: it's cool gameplay, yes
VardaValar1: You have a friend list
made?
ArPharazonV: the interface is
simple, and very effective
VardaValar1: Gilraen? Bunch of guild
guys you can ask
VardaValar1: Auros, Kanafinwe
VardaValar1: Auros = Eonwe,
Kanafinwe = Maglor
ArPharazonV: cursor keys to move
about, alt for the sword, ctrl for the second 'weapon' which you can
switch very easily between bow and arrow, boomerang, health-potion, and
bombs, and enter for everything else...
VardaValar1: Eowyn, Harana, and
Auros are at the Town Square
VardaValar1: I would guess some are
escorting
GilraenV: *maked friends list*
GilraenV: *makes
VardaValar1: Mairowen = Eowyn
VardaValar1: The list is on our
guild's WoW page and more spread out on the Forum under WoW, WoW
characters
VardaValar1: ouch - we are
disconnecting
VardaValar1: no, we are ok
VardaValar1: Grimbold had to go
perform an emergency C-Section
VardaValar1: We are using a Raid channel for this : ) Good idea
GilraenV: oo. gwai may be back
soon
VardaValar1: Where are you now,
Gilraen, in WoW that is?
GilraenV: menethil harbour still
VardaValar1: Escort is heading your
way
GilraenV: ok
VardaValar1: umm
GilraenV: ?
VardaValar1: They seem to have a
problem
GilraenV: lol.
VardaValar1: Did you put Auros and
Kanafinwe on your friend list?
VardaValar1: did you join the Raid
channel?
VardaValar1: type /raid
GilraenV: yes and yes
VardaValar1: cool
GilraenV: ^.^
VardaValar1: Did they say what they
want you to do?
GilraenV: wait there, I think...
VardaValar1: One problem is that not
all the escort has the gryphon path and they don't want to break u
VardaValar1: up
GilraenV: mhm
ArPharazonV: can't they all walk?
VardaValar1: They seem to be
VardaValar1: But two continents away
ArPharazonV: hmm...
VardaValar1: Eowyn could have stayed
there and let me on
VardaValar1: My character is near
Gilraen's
VardaValar1: oh well
VardaValar1: I know I just want on :
)
GilraenV: hehehe
VardaValar1: You can still walk
around, kill things nearby that aren't too big, make some money
VardaValar1: You will need money :-)
ArPharazonV: good luck... 20/25 zone
I think?
VardaValar1: If that's the way of
it, maybe some cooking or other skill work? Fishing at Auberdine
VardaValar1: Under the pier is
Glump, will trade a Glump family fishing pole for 6 groupers : )
VardaValar1: Nice white beach
ArPharazonV: fishing sounds nice..
perhaps you can find a treasure-chest :-)
VardaValar1: aye
ArPharazonV: a locked treasure
chest...
ArPharazonV: we could beat the lock
with Pippin's head, but if that does not shatter it, we could go find a
key
VardaValar1: Arathorn was fishing by
me and found a treasure chest
VardaValar1: Pippin's head should
prove sufficient
Musics4Me2: well, I gotta get back
to programming, Namarie!
ArPharazonV: Namarie
Musics4Me2 has left the room.
VardaValar1: bye
ArPharazonV: well, I gotta go...
early day tomorrow
ArPharazonV: I'll save the
transcript now
ArPharazonV: done
ArPharazonV: kind of ironic....
ArPharazonV: I started playing the
lotr-soundtrack when it was set on the main theme, the opening scene
ArPharazonV: and now I closed winamp
with the Grey Havens playing :-)
VardaValar1: Namarie
ArPharazonV: Namarie, will be
sending the transcript now
VardaValar1: aye, neat
VardaValar1: Thanks!
VardaValar1: We are going to watch
TT now :-)
ArPharazonV: ok, have fun
VardaValar1: Elwing, Sauron, and I
ArPharazonV: escort done?
VardaValar1: ok :-)
VardaValar1: no
VardaValar1: Eowyn is in WoW, not us
VardaValar1: Only one comp
VardaValar1: They did reach
Suralda/Gilraen
ArPharazonV: nice
ArPharazonV: it is sent
ArPharazonV: well, Namarie to you all
ArPharazonV: and I hope the guild is
a success... and that I can join it some time next year
ArPharazonV has left the room.
MaglorV has left the room.
ArathornValar has left the room.
VardaValar1: To sign the charter, we
need accounts, not just characters.
VardaValar1: Not enough people are
showing up
VardaValar1: I'm trying to rustle up
some folks : )
GaldorV has entered the room.
GaldorV: A small crowd
VardaValar1: aiya
GaldorV: aiya
VardaValar1: Most are in WoW or in
separate windows
GaldorV: Ive been playing less
because the game always crashes ...cant fix it either
VardaValar1: eww
GaldorV: also real life comming

VardaValar1: WE all have that
GaldorV: I may be on more this

STEvilaim has entered the room.
GaldorV: Any I hate to run real

VardaValar1: That would be cool
VardaValar1: Namarie!
GaldorV has left the room.
VardaValar1: Aiya Scatha
STEvilaim: hello

VardaValar1: Aiya Ecthelion : )
suilenroc01: aiya
VardaValar1: What major, Ec?
VardaValar1: Sorry, Ecthelion : )
VardaValar1: I think some of the
other guys here use Trillian too, Scatha
STEvilaim: ah
suilenroc01: hmm
VardaValar1: Not me, so not much
help I fear : )
STEvilaim: no problem, i'm sure i'll figure it out eventually ;-)
VardaValar1: And if not, we do try
to invite you during meetings
VardaValar1: That should help
suilenroc01: how is the WoW group doing?
VardaValar1: Or you can remind us
when we don't
VardaValar1: We had a problem
suilenroc01: i'm way out of the loop
VardaValar1: Only 6 showed up for
the charter signing
suilenroc01: whew
suilenroc01
